@ChrisRackauckas It’s the first time I see SciML mentioned in a job ad, so the other languages seem just mentioned for a non-ideal candidate.

Yeah, the primary language indeed is Julia.

@thevolatilebit I just saw this job posted yesterday. Today I looked at the post on Merck’s website and it says job is not posted anymore. Is the job still available or perhaps the job posting just expires after a certain number of days?

Should I check back periodically to see if it gets posted again? I assume the link will be different, so is best to just check the Merck website?

@bdeonovic Thanks for asking! I’d regularly check the company’s job postings [there](https://jobs.merck.com/us/). And in case you have a particular interest in Julia :juliaheartpulsing: but come across an ad which doesn’t mention it, don’t worry, you will get a chance to adopt it 😉
